India releases five Pakistani prisoners

Lahore - Indian Border Security Force (BSF) on Friday handed over five Pakistani prisoners to Punjab Rangers at Wagha border, Rangers spokesman said. He said Punjab Rangers Jawans presented sweets and flowers to the prisoners on the directions of high-ups. The prisoners handed over by the Indian authorities included Muhammad Zaman, Muhammad Iqbal, Nasir Ahmad, Noor Aslam and Ramesh Kumar. They were detained by Indian BSF on different charges. The prisoners said they had crossed into Indian side mistakenly. They complained of maltreatment by Indian authorities in prison. It is worth mentioning here that Indian prisoners kept in Pakistani jails have always been happy with Pakistani authorities and at the time of release they always paid complements to Pakistani officials.
